Welcome to the Bristol Creative Industries’ network. Great ideas need company, so join us to make connections, raise your profile and get the work you want.

How To Be Useful is a half-day session to help you approach the problem of strategy with confidence, and turn those voices into collaborators. We’ll look at strategy through the lens of the people you do strategy for, and with: clients, stakeholders, creatives, audiences. And we’ll cover tools and hacks to help you move forward with what you have, whatever stage of the process you’re at.

In this practical session, Andrew Woolnough will show how a simple benefits audit can help creative organisations save money, improve wellbeing support, and strengthen their employer brand — without increasing costs.

Do you stay quiet even when you have something you want to say?

Speaking up doesn’t come naturally to us all, yet it’s a skill anyone can learn.

This half-day session gives you the knowledge, tools and practice to show up differently in meetings from the very next day. This isn’t a plan to “fake it until you make it” but clear and practical guide to build your confidence and speak up more at work.
